A little late to the dance, but ... posted this prior to today's launch. I'm often asked, "Will I see the launch?" This would have helped.

The other common question is, "Will it launch?" My reply was, "I'll let you know when it leaves the pad." 😊

Great captures. Reminds me of when I was mooch docking at friend’s house in W Melbourne years ago and watched a nighttime launch.

Don’t know why but teared up.

@LnzyHou Night launches are spectacular. They have that impact on people.

Our first launch was a Shuttle night launch, STS-84 in May 1997. It was such a clear night.

This sun burst into existence, rose into the sky, then ten minutes later was just one star of many on the horizon. It was mind-blowing to know that star had people on it.
